The duo had previously been accused of drugging and sexually assaulting women in a case that gained international coverage. Dr. Grant Robicheaux, a surgeon who once featured on Bravo’s “Online Dating Rituals of the American Male,” and his girlfriend Cerissa Riley, saw their charges of assault with an intent to commit a sexual offense dismissed on Friday, according to court documents. The dismissal took place following a preliminary hearing before Superior Court Judge Michael Leversen. The judge found that there was insufficient evidence regarding the sexual assault charges to proceed to a trial, as reported by the Orange County Register.

The state attorney general’s office, responsible for the case’s prosecution, is currently reviewing the court’s decision. No immediate comment was provided on the court’s decision by the couple’s legal team, according to their spokesperson. International attention was drawn to the case in 2018 when Robicheaux and Riley were accused of drugging and sexually assaulting up to seven victims in their Newport Beach home, rendering them incapable of resisting. Additionally, the case got entangled in a fierce political dispute between Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer and his predecessor Tony Rackauckas. Spitzer alleged Rackauckas of mishandling the case and exploiting it for publicity purposes. Upon election and assuming office, Spitzer attempted to dismiss the charges against the couple, citing a lack of sufficient evidence. The state attorney general’s office took over the case later, reducing the charges for prosecution.
